Re-publish

This is not supported by Jetpack. A couple of months ago I had the same request. In the end I had to modify Jetpack manually to make it work. Back then, I asked to include this as a feature. May be if more people request it, it will be added as an option one day.

For now, just comment out all the checks for the article’s post status and you should be set.

I think it is a very useful feature, and also rather simply to implemen! ??

Indeed. Actually, Jetpack went out of their way to actually avoid giving the user the option, because without the checks you could republish an article any time ??

This is especially useful when you decide to join a social network much later in time and thus need a way to publish your content you already have.

I saw something about this here: https://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/customizing-publicize-sharing-behavior/#add-a-checkbox-to-send-new-post-updates-to-publicize

Tried it earlier today but it did not work. The check box showed up, but the published post did not get re-published.

I think you need to be a VIP-member to make use of this code snippet:

WordPress.com VIP clients can customize which shortlink Publicize uses, when Publicize shares to which accounts, and other behavior changes using standard filters.

Alternatively, you could try changing your post status to draft and see if it gets published.

@mexxxi is right, that’s not possible in Jetpack just yet.

Although @greatdanemaniac’s tip is good, it uses a filter that is only available for WordPress.com sites at the moment, wpas_force_publicize.

I’ve created an issue so we can consider adding such an option to Jetpack in a future update. Feel free to subscribe to the issue to follow our progress on this:

Thanks all for the feedback!
